There are some beauty classics that are statement-making on their own – an insouciant smokey eye, a glossy pout, strategically placed highlighter in the inner corners. Pair them together and you’ve got a head-turning combination. While the possibilities are endless when it comes to makeup, there are some makeup techniques and colours that are just better together.

A dab of highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes can instantly perk up your peepers and enliven your complexion. Follow up with a swipe of high-shine gloss to take your look to the next level.

‘90s-inspired Iridescent, frosted lips are making a major comeback. Pair a silvery pink pout with dewy, sun-kissed complexion for a subtle, yet polished makeup look that can easily take you from day to night.

Swap your go-to neutral eye look with a wash of uplifting pastel blue shadow on the lids. Balance out the look with a nude pout and lightly contoured cheeks. The doe-eyed look wouldn’t be complete without inky black lashes.

Embrace your dark side with a moody maroon pout. Wear your blackened red lip with lived-in, smoked out eyes for a daring, edgy look that’s perfect for a night out.
